The Hoosiers' dominant CFP run could put them in the mix for best of all time pending a title
Undefeated Indiana did more than just justify its place as the top seed in the College Football Playoff with its lopsided 56-22 rout of Oregon in the Peach Bowl semifinal. The Hoosiers also made a statement about their bid to be considered as one of the top teams in college football history if they can complete their perfect season
Postseason rematches almost exclusively favor the team that lost in the regular season. Indiana will look to reverse that history in the Peach Bowl.
While a scoring drive response to make it 21-14 might’ve righted the ship, they went five plays and punted, which led to a not even two-minute IU scoring drive to make it 28-7 before another Oregon fumble made the halftime score 35-7. The Hoosiers won the whole game before halftime, because the Ducks pretty much handed 21 points to them.
We're almost set for the national championship, and four teams will battle it out in the semifinals this week for the right to play for a title.
All four remaining CFP teams are led by former Nick Saban assistants at Alabama. They all learned how to run a program under the coaching legend.
